For the sixth month anni with my fiance http://soullessaddicti0n.deviantart.....sito-335958443
The bottom is my 'sona, Hok, and the top is his yet unnamed 'sona I created. While he knows I draw, as he's collaborated with me on a human character he wanted and watched me draw, he's never seen much else of my work. He doesn't know of anything anthro. In fact, I don't even plan to show him this. I used to think that if someone couldn't accept what I art, I couldn't be with them, but I find since we share everything else that I rather prefer to keep at least one thing private. Consider this my quiet 'I love you and appreciate you.'
For all the times he listened to me complain about work, for the back rubs and the hot chocolate, for giving me his hoodie even if he's cold, for lending a shoulder, for the laughs, the warmth, and the trust. For his never-ending patience with my Lyme, for never rolling his eyes to, 'Baby, can you open this for me' or 'can you carry this for me?' For the afternoon naps, for not doing things just because I can't, for staying in every night when he could be out, for defending me, for singing silly songs, random kisses, inside jokes, watching movies in bed, for sharing everything. For crying with me during sappy movies. For being with me no matter how I sometimes feel overwhelmed. Through the medical bills, the sleeping 20 hours a day, the joint pain, the muscle pain, and the sickness. For carrying me to bed when I accidentally pass out on the couch, for making me food when I'm too hurt to get up, and for being at every appointment. You and your support mean the world to me and has made my journey all the easier. I couldn't ever express my appreciation or my emotion toward you and every little thing you do. I wouldn't give you up for anything in the world. But most of all, for being my better half, and the person I can see myself with for the rest of my life. I love you.

What are you worried about with revealing your anthros to your bf?
I don't know either of you, but I know that in my experience my worries have often been amazingly overblown. I'm betting it wouldn't be as bad as you'd expect, especially since your stuff is beautiful! :D
(I know I've often had similar anxieties, but the first person I dated took it very well that I drew myself as a horse, and I ended up drawing her as a unicorn. I know I'd want to find someone who would be alright with it.)

My ex was surprisingly into it. Although I met him from here IRL, and we had a five year relationship and he supported my art wholly. I think a part of me is just afraid to not have that same 'connection' or 'ah-ha!' with art. Art isn't what I do, it's who I am. To have an S.O. who doesn't support that is kind of like someone not understanding one of the biggest parts of me, and something that's precious to me. I'm also a bit afraid of his opinion, but mostly I just art as something to do privately. It's one of those 'me-time' activities where the world doesn't exist. It's nice to have something that's just mine and not 'mine and his.' It's pretty much the only thing I do by myself anymore.
He's seen me draw people and portraits and different random things, and he's told me he feels I draw wonderfully. It's not that I think he's going to think my skill sucks, I just think he may be put off by the subject matter I prefer. It's not really a huge fear. I mostly just want something that feels private. A little oasis or escape for me to do and not have someone intrude on.
I'm sure eventually I will show him something anthro. That time just hasn't come yet (: For now I'm enjoying arting again.

Honestly, I can relate to almost every one of the worries you express here - including the worry of having something private. When I did share my art with my previous gf, I involved her so deeply in it that when we broke up, looking back on something that meant a lot to me carried with it a large amount of hurt. It's taken years to reclaim it, make it "mine" again. Mostly, what I'd want in a future gf/wife would be someone who would appreciate and love me for it, and would help me not become obsessed, but would also allow it to be "mine."
And that's great to hear. I wish you luck. Your art is beautiful :)

I felt the same way with art at first. When our relationship ended, it took me 6+ months to even touch art, let alone to finish a sketch. Now, a year later, I am back to drawing and trying to tuck those feelings away. I changed my 'sona and revamped my style in a way, and it's lessened the guilt, but sometimes it still upsets me. The memories of sharing something that important with someone likely important, and then when you move on from one half of that equation, it's hard to not drop the other half.
Thank you much! n___n

Your little speech thing in the description really puts this piece into perspective.
I love it. I really do.
I'm not much of a hoofed-character person, but your designs are breathtaking, and as I said, your speech really just brings it all together.
I also connect really well with it because I feel the same way about my husband. I have stage 5 kidney failure and it simply amazes me what he puts up with on a daily basis from me. Falling asleep randomly, the random headaches and migraines, the bimonthly doctor visits 45 minutes away from home, nightly dialysis... He puts up with all of it just to be with me and it just kind of amazes me what some people go through just because they love someone and want to be with them. I'm glad that you have that in life because it's really hard to find someone who loves you through every single thing you go through. It's really special.
Thank you for posting this piece. It's a really strong, emotional ride.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear about your kidney failure! Testing a relationship and a partner on such a strong level at least gives us the peace of mind in knowing they are truly there for you and will be there through the good and the bad. You picked a keeper. I hope things go well for you and your husband
